I'm about halfway done with the last season of the Revolutions podcast and up to date with Blowback. I'm probably going to be looking for another fun history podcast to listen to soon to throw into my rotation with The Dollop, to break up the pop culture, comedy, or news podcasts.

I recently listened to the Kissinger episodes of Behind the Bastards and they seemed pretty informative and funny. Also apparently it's by some old Cracked people, and I'm a fan of all those old Cracked content creators. But the first episode says it's about Stalin, so I'm guessing it's like in the progressive but lib direction? I don't mind, just want peoples thoughts on it before I decide to start or look for something else. How is it for people who have listened to it?

I know I'm in the minority around here, but I enjoy it, I don't agree with him all the time, but I don't agree with most people most of the time.

Fwiw, I also enjoy the Dollop and Even More News (speaking of old cracked people).

You just kind of have to take it all with a grain of salt and assume that there's some bias and mistakes built in. That's not any different than I would treat any other online content though.

Appreciate the other perspective!
